That is, as soon as you type "M-x" or "C-x C-f", all the mode lines become displayed in the inactive face. This might be regarded as a feature, but perhaps users would like to know what window is active even when they are typing at the minibuffer prompt. I think that when the minibuffer is selected, the window in minibuffer-scroll-window should count as the "selected" window as regards the mode line. (That is the window that was selected "outside" the minibuffer.) Also, I wonder whether the default for this face should really be different from the mode-line face. Perhaps we want that by default this feature is invisible; This feature should be good for beginners if we get the colors right. So the default should be that it does something you can see. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
